    Have been in both the main&smaller venues and have enjoyed both shows. 1) tribute to Elvis. 2) aerobic play which I liked the best. Seats are comfortable. Just make sure you're in the assigned one.

    A beautiful brand new performing arts center. If you like being able to see the performer's faces - get Orchestra tickets and avoid boxes. THEY DO NOT RENT BINOCULARS! A must 4 balcony or box seats!

    If you pay the 3 dollars extra for a souvenir sippy cup (which you are allowed to bring into the theater) you can totally fill it up with some free water from the water fountains during intermission .

    This beautiful theater is decked out in deco style decore. Check out Myron’s for an intimate cabaret setting for music venues.

    This place was built to last with a lot of thought behind it, and with lots of attention to detail. If you turned these lights upside down, they'd look exactly like the intake towers at Hoover Dam.

    The best materials were used to build this center. This is a very special Zebra Wood that you will find in their Mezzanine Lounge.

    Seen a number of shows here. Always great, beautiful place, nice art decor, not a bad seat in the house. Nice little bar / cafe 2nd floor.

    Las Vegas's most hotly anticipated cultural venue hosts groups ranging from the Israel Philharmonic and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater to London’s Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.

    The Art Deco feel inside is spot on. The winged sculpture leading up to the top floors is called Genius In Flight.

    The building is beautiful. The shows that come are almost twice as much as anywhere else, and the box office will NOT work with you if you need to cancel/rebook a show. Try again DTLV.

    Absolutely gorgeous fine arts venue. When you come for a show, buy a logo'd plastic glass with your drink; bring it with you on future visits for cheaper refills!

    Keep your drink cup for your next visit to theatre when you upgrade your beverage. Also there are boosters for your little entourage.

    The building is beautiful, but they hide the bathrooms by the elevator and they're not on every floor.
